They won’t get my money but they will get a letter inside the envelope. My priests are good and think well of everyone therefore have no idea how cunning these people are but I’ll attempt to give them some insight. I doubt if it’ll work. Thanks the the information. :)

Since the early nineties I have been aware of CCHD’s activities and I don't ever give them a dime. Sometimes I put a note in the envelope saying why I won't, other times just an empty envelope. I advise my friends to do the same.

Unfortunately, I think the parishes get taxed anyway if the donations don't meet the goal.

Thank you for this exceedingly valuable information. I am forwarding it to our Diocesan P+J guy. He is a very good fellow, a Lt. Col. USMC (Ret), cares for the poor and the refugees, and an ardent prolifer in his head and heart and way down to his bones. -— He’ll know what to do with info like this.

("In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." Romans 12:5)

What really hacks me off is that my fellow Catholics seem too timid to get up on their hind legs and speak truth to power, even when that power contradicts, ignores, or otherwise lies about the Holy Scriptures.
